Easily integrate GTS into an existing game engine complete with low level platform overrides. Game engines support a wide variety of operating systems and hardware platforms, with varying degrees of custom code and work-arounds. Since GTS cannot possibly support every work-around and corner case, we have simplified engine integration by allowing the developer to completely replace the GTS platform layer through a configuration file (user_config.h).
Express high-level program flow with persistent, dynamic task DAGs that can be executed homogeneously or heterogeneously with the Macro-Scheduler.
Jump right into parallelism with predefined Parallel Patterns.
Easily communicate between threads with Parallel Containers.
Carve up CPU resources as you see fit with the WorkerPool.
Express low-level algorithms and highly efficient execution policies with the Micro-scheduler and Task constructs.
Remove bottlenecks around heap access with gts_malloc.
Avoid contention and kernel-mode synchronization with GTS's user-mode synchronization primitives and contention reducing constructs".
STL and OS header free interface. GTS won't pollute your engine with unnecessary headers.
